Each time I try to copy a movie when using media server I'm told by my PS3 that insufficient disk space exists.It appears that any movie I try to copy is 94gb in size when my PS3 looks at it even though the video is only approx 8gb on the server side (checked several to verify)

Could we get a facility to transcode and copy?

By the way...fantastic app...the reason why I chose a PS3 over Xbox.In my books Sony owes you bigtime ; )

You are aware that transcoded material can be MUCH bigger than the original file depending on the transcoding method. Its also quite difficult to predict the correct size without actually doing the complete transcoding first.

A two hour HD 1080p movie of 8GB has an average bitrate of only 9mbps, have you looked at the bitrate when you stream the transcoded version ?

Yes, but we're not talking 1080p specifically, it is the same problem with a normal xvid that is for some reason transcoded. Even that says 94gb!
